LAKEVILLE — The Lakeville Historical Commission is looking for shared memories that center around food and cooking. In particular, they are looking for cookbooks and aprons to be loaned for the August, 2018, Lakeville Public Library Great Ponds Gallery exhibit "Cookbooks and Aprons, etc."

The exhibit will showcase cookbooks, aprons, recipes, and cooking implements. It will focus on the history of home cooking, but will also feature aprons and cookbooks from local businesses and organizations.

So, do you have a special apron made for you when you learned to cook with your grandmother? Or do you have an apron or cookbook that has been passed down in your family? Perhaps, tucked away in the attic is the fancy apron your mother wore on a special holiday. The Lakeville Historical Commission would be interested in exhibiting loaned items.

The contact person for the exhibit is Nancy LaFave, 508-947-2688 or bnlafave@gmail.com.

The exhibit will be open to the public during regular library hours from August 2 through August 30. It is free and accessible.

On Saturday, August 4, from 10 am to Noon, there will be an exhibit reception. The reception is free and open to the public. It will featured recipes from the various decades of the cookbooks.

At the end of the exhibit, featured cookbooks which are not part of personal collections will be available for a donation to the Lakeville Public Library Great Ponds Gallery Art Committee. Money collected will be used to purchase additional items for hanging future exhibits.
